A BILL

To amend Public Law 89-732 to modify the requirement for a Cuban national to qualify for and maintain status as a permanent resident.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. MODIFICATION OF RULES REGARDING ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS FOR CUBAN REFUGEES.

    Section 1 of Public Law 89-732 is amended by adding at the end the following: ‘An alien shall be ineligible for adjustment of status under this section if the alien returns to Cuba after admission or parole into the United States. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall rescind the status of an alien who obtained adjustment of status under this section if the alien returns to Cuba before being admitted to citizenship in accordance with title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), and the alien shall thereafter be subject to all the provisions of such Act to the same extent as if the adjustment of status had not been made.’.
